Inflammation of the caecum, a pouch-like structure at the beginning of the large intestine.
From 'caecum' (Latin for blind, referring to the closed end of the pouch) plus the medical suffix '-itis' (inflammation). A modern medical term.
Caecitis is similar to appendicitis but affects a different part of the bowel—it's rare in humans but common in animals like horses and rabbits!
